I bought into this game the first month it came out and did the 240$ for legendary pack. The game was going good. they had a clunky knockdown mechanic like from MW4 and LL. It seemed like things were really going in the right direction. Then I heard how there were some layoff or guys got fired off the project that really knew their stuff. Even so I bought the Phenoix Package for 120$, that and maybe another 100$ at this game. It has been nothing but heartache and lies. Just my personal feelings and factual observations.
Could you also get your watchman Heffay off of RSI forums and reign him in some, he is quite the loose cannon and is making you guys look very bad, just google MWO and look at the links below it.[indent]

No Founders program necessary for the new EU and Asia servers. Apparently PGI is making enough money to fund the expansion without having to crowdfund it.

3 years I've been right about this game. Hopefully the trolls will settle down, as the impending failure predictions they've been making over the past 3 years are pretty much proven to be just wasted wishes. And now we can get back to discussing MWO and its upcoming features once again.

Now we don't have critical features of a mech action game that made old old games so good that we all wanted in this game. 3 so years later we get bad terrain, no work on game world... like destructible environment from explosions, no trees falling down, bad mech and world scaling, the UI takes way too long... MW3 and 4 and the early beta for MWO were far more acceptable.
Even Mech Assault had most of the "features" I have mentioned above and that was a Xbox game... like Halo era, just like all the Titles mentioned above, some of them slightly older.

I obviously wanted to like this game, but after researching what Russ Bullock and Matt Zmak and what game they have made in the past with how they have done things... It is just reprehensible that they would do this again and again and think they can and will get away with it. I hang out on at least 7 different well known clans TS and they sure are not playin MWO anymore.
These people I speak of are seasoned vets of Old, we are Mechwarrior. But we cannot support what is going on with this game. Just look back to RSI forums and lots of reddit. This game is not even advertised or on the map anymore, and what little coverage it did get was less than impressive. Emperical evidence will always rule out hearsay and lost promises, the internet does not forget.
We also will not forget that mech cash grab turn based thing or Transfail... seriously, we asked you to make a MECHWARRIOR game. Not this, this is not acceptable. Where is your player counter as well, I play WoTanks, WThunder, Warframe, LoL and they have those. But when you started losing players due to 3p, coolantgate, and lies on critical mech things like "knockdown and ECM" you drop the ball, lie, ban ppl that constanly and persistatly gave you information and expertise on how to fix the game and you bad and black list them, when they only meant well. WE ALL WANTED A GREAT GAME! but to spit with that right!

Clan War pay wall is just the most disgusting thing ever, might as well ask for 15$ a month to play the game at all if you want to have fun, but that is giving Clan War in this game too much credit. So many games you can just pay 60$ for or less and get so much more in these departments. Steam is going to destroy you, and I know your not going to fix a thing.

I am confused as to why no one but the most derangedly demented and devoted can keep playing this game when even most of their freinds and old chaps have left. It is also useless to think that a Steam release will fix this buggy poorly thought out game.

This is also probably going to be my Steam review as well.

Interesting... A biased review of a product that may (admittedly probably will not substantially be...) be different than it's present iteration. This is exactly the kind of butt-hurt self indulgent review I'm fearful of being the voice of consensus on Steam.

As far as Heffey watch-dogging SC forum and reddit? LOL... There are plenty of self appointed intelligentsia who venture from SC and Reedit who feel similarly personally slighted by PGI who frequent here in this forum to help "educate" the ill-informed. As such, your feigned indignation falls on deaf ears from this member who is one of the truly deranged and devoted.

Legendary was $120, not $240. Overlord was $80, with $30 more for the Saber Reinforcement pack.

FFS what the hell, OP? If you want any of that to be a proper review, at least get some of your basic facts checked. Oh, wait, please don't, this way we can tell who's off their rocker and downvote their review as unhelpful.

[Navy Sixes]

I feel for the founders, I honestly do. Like many in the age of crowdfunding, they were sold a lot of big dreams n' schemes, and then given a game that offered the minimum possible without being sued.

The rest of us understand that MW:O is never going to be much more than 12 big, stompy robots blowing the s*&t out of the 12 big, stompy robots on the other team.

CW will try to give the fights some kind of meaning, but the fights (and the store, of course) are all there will ever be to this game.

Expect nothing more, and I can promise you'll never be let down.

Facts? He's got some rhetoric to spout. What do facts have to do with his post?

Did the Star Citizen forums reach their capacity on MWO bashing? Seriously, it's like a bunch of kids over there who probably want to come back to MWO and try it again, but they've spent so much time railing on it, and they're afraid of what the others will think, so they stick to convincing each other how bad it must be over here to assuage the curiosity.

Hard to blame them though. Their game isn't really playable yet. I'd be jelly, too.

When it comes to F2P games, I have but one advice.

Vote with your wallet.


I play this game because this is where I can shoot PPCs into Timberwolves. There is no other modern choice. The game could have been much much better, even accounting for the size of PGI, but this is what we got, so I play. They will have to try harder, in order to open up my wallet again, though.

The OP may be ranty and it will rub some folks the wrong way, but...

... he is essentially right.

Sad, but true.

Odd. Pretty sure I only paid 120$ for my Legendary Founders pack.

When the very first line of a rant is so easily proven fallacious..... the rest doesn't have much foundation to stand upon?

While some of what you say is true I got no feels for you man. The SC forums on MWO are pity party circle jerk of tears and hatred. No one cares what Heffay/ Markemp does. We don't control him, wouldn't want to. If you don't like him pissing on your depression parade get someone to ban him. As for your own butthurt, well half of it is legit, the other is misinformed or has no bearing on the current state of play and development. You would know the current state of development, or the actual lack of ties on mw tactics, or the fallout of TV if you had half a brain and some googlefu; but you don't. Do what you want. We also don't care about your choice there. To summarize: GG Clothes try again next time.

[Kristov Kerensky]

Come on, at least get the prices right before you make these claims, then again....don't.

That way we can point out that your review is obviously a malicious attack without any basis in fact.

[Dino Might]

This reminds me of my siblings. We will give each other crap, piss each other off, and even get in fights with each other, but the minute someone from outside the family is a jerk to one of us, game on - it's time to close ranks and go to town on that unfortunate.

This is true. As much as everyone wants the moon, what we have is what we have. Accept it, or don't. Spend, or don't. Play, or don't.

Railing on about past woes is pointless and pathetic.

Three years on almost I'm having fun. Maybe I'm weird.

[Pjwned]

While I agree that the game needs work, I don't really have much sympathy for a disgruntled customer who threw a shitload of money at the game; the only reason I have any sympathy is being let down as a Founder thinking you would be funding a really cool game, but even then the sympathy is limited and especially because $120 for the content that you actually bought is absurd.

I guess I would be mad if I threw hundreds of dollars at the game, but I've only spent $14 which is not much at all, and even as jewish as I am with my money I can't say that PGI didn't deserve it since the game is still interesting & unique despite its many flaws and has provided me with a lot of hours of playtime.

For that matter, I wish these ridiculous posts would at least evolve. I mean, really. 3pv? Coolant flush? ECM?

Can't they find anything more re enter to cry about? These posts are always tirades from the events of years ago. We've read them all already... Years ago. Something new and fresh, please.
